It's #WorldRewildingDay 🌲 🦡

Efforts to rewild are essential in helping prevent further damage to nature and our climate.

Here, on the open social web, you can learn more by getting involved in the conversation at the @biodiversity and Rewilding Community Feed.

Our Foundation was founded to protect knowledge sharing across social media.

We aim to defend and grow peer to peer learning, first-hand accounts, and credible voices across open social networks.

That's why we care so much about the open social web. It's an open social network which puts community first, letting you learn from the people around you in the digital space.

We're proud to be here.

Community is powerful.

A recent study by Circle found that just one engaged member of your community is worth 234 followers.

Three weeks ago we were getting ready to go to #FOSDEM. We didn’t realise just how good the experience would be.

Now we’re energised, excited, and getting started on a whole range of ideas that came out of the event. More on that soon 👀

For now, enjoy this little snapshot of Brussels and our @fosdem experience.

Huge thank you to @_elena for getting a photo of the team 📸

We believe in community.

The social 'town square' done right - a place where we don't shout at each other from across the cobblestones but a place where we coexist and find our people in the cafes and social spaces around the square 🏙️

We're working on something that can replicate this feeling, across multiple platforms. No more FOMO. A lot more community.

Make sure you're following us to stay up to date 👀

"Facing the societal challenges we do, it is time for us to work better together. To brainstorm. To plan. To do. A decentralised network of people with a centralised goal to grow the open social web."

Inspired by FOSDEM, @saskia sets her sights on how we grow.

This time last year, New Social looked very different to what it does now.

It's amazing to think about what a small group of hard-working people can do. From Mastodon to Pixelfed, Bluesky to Ghost, and all the many amazing projects both big and small! Every connected platform has pushed the boundaries of open social media and the Fediverse.

Now, let's push a few more boundaries. What do you say? 😈

We're going to @fosdem 🚄

@michael , @saskia and @FreddieJ will all be making the trip to Brussels for one of the best FOSS events in the world.

At FOSDEM we'll be looking to connect with some of the people growing awareness for the open social web. We'll also be doing our best to learn from the thousands of FOSS experts in the room.

If you're attending and you'd like to make sure our paths cross, please email us at support@newsmast.org.

Just a year since they launched, our Community Feed's now have over 20,000 followers!

We built our Feeds in the hopes that they would help improve the ability to find and share topical knowledge across Mastodon, the Fediverse and the whole New Social network.

You can see links to all of Community Feeds this thread: https://newsmast.social/@newsmast/111840234033144502

Thank you to everyone who has shared our Feeds - especially to new users who are looking to find their people over here!

Social media has changed. The town square is no longer a place for everyone.

That's why we've posted physical 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.

Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we hope to help them catch up with many of the European organisations who have already turned to open social media.

We're ready to help anyone who wants to join New Social in the face of a Trump presidency.

We believe in social media that puts community first, protecting fact and preventing hatred. Not social media that plays to politics.

New Social is where we reconnect and grow, no matter which platform - one united community looking for better social media.

If there are any major movements from X or Meta, we'll let you know here.
